Douglas Todd: Beware the promises of vastly funded psychedelics, warn two Canadian researchers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a teenager I read Aldous Huxley’s legendary book The Doors of Perception. The respected English philosopher explored psychedelic drugs as a mind-expanding entry into mystical experiences. The book inspired the name of Jim Morrison’s rock band, The Doors. It was the hippie era, with all its chaotic chasing of new experiences. It led to this far too young teen trying LSD on two occasions, on my own. The first could almost, but not quite, be called a “good trip.” The second was a panic-filled “b
Douglas Todd: B.C. Conservatives oppose David Eby’s upzoning mandates (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Premier David Eby calling a snap provincial election that coincides with 188 municipal and regional elections, one of the most fiery overlapping political issues is housing affordability.

Although TEAM is not the only Vancouver party making such broad claims, when it comes specifically to housing development there is something to its argument that “no other party is offering” what TEAM is promising. TEAM is taking a decidedly different position to five mass upzoning plans that Mayor Ken Sim and all council members, regardless of party, unanimously approved
Douglas Todd: Accused Canadian author Steven Galloway makes major progress in libel case (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former UBC creative writing professor and novelist Steven Galloway is making significant headway in his defamation case, 11 years after he was accused of rape by a former student. At least eight people who publicly alleged Galloway had sexually assaulted the student have recently settled out of court with him, in the midst of a complex libel battle that has dragged on for eight years. The most prominent figures to privately settle with Galloway, who wrote the best-selling novels The Cellist of S
